The danger of colour stereotypes by @BoltCallum - 5 views

  •  
    "Colours promote such emotion and are attributed to everything we see every day. Children are taught from a very young age that the sky and the ocean are blue, the grass and leaves are green, that the sun, sand and sunflowers are yellow and the night is black. But I ask you, how often have you looked at the ocean and seen green, not blue or looked up into the branches and seen a selection of oranges, yellows, browns and reds not a blanket of green. I am not suggesting that we shouldn't teach children these colour clichés, at a young age they are their first experiences of colour and form the bases of many of their first art pieces."

Why do so many oil spills happen? - CSMonitor.com - 0 views

    • Jeff Woodcock
       
      hard part
  •  
    "n brief, because there are a lot of tricky steps to get oil from inside the Earth to inside, say, your gas tank. Oil spills can be caused by the accidental or intentional release of any form of petroleum during any point in the oil production process, from drilling, refining, or storing to transporting. Oil can be spilled when a pipeline breaks, ships collide or are grounded (as happened earlier this month along the Great Barrier Reef), underground storage tanks leak, or in the current case, when an oil rig explodes or is damaged. IN PICTURES: Big Environmental Disasters Some oil was spilled when the Deepwater Horizon rig first burst into flames on April 20 in the Gulf, injuring crew members and sending a billowing plume of black smoke into the sky that could be seen by satellite. The oil rig, located about 51 miles (82 kilometers) southeast of Venice, La., then sank into the Gulf waters Thursday morning, creating concern that more oil could spill. Oil spills can also happen naturally: Oil is released into the ocean from natural oil seeps on the seafloor. The best known such seep is Coal Oil Point along the California coast where an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 gallons (7,570 to 11,400 liters) of crude oil is released each day."

Help for the High Seas: The Terramar Project - 3 views

  •  
    Who owns the seas? For 64 percent of the world's oceans-the amount that lies beyond national jurisdictions-the answer is no one. The high seas, as they're known, are like the planet's commons: since they don't really belong to anyone, no nation invests enough in offering them the protection they deserve, even though they constitute 45 percent of the planet's surface area.

Here's What We Can Expect From El Niño This Year | TIME - 19 views

  • forecasters have little ability to predict how intense future El Niño episodes will be. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) it is also near impossible to pinpoint the exact dates that El Niño will begin.
    • ekbrabant
       
      Some atmospheric phenomena can be predicted and some cannot.
  • Within the next month more details regarding El Niño and when it will begin will become clearer.
    • ekbrabant
       
      As more data is collected more patterns may be apparent, and hypotheses can be supported.
  • 90% chance of striking again this year

      I wonder how scientists have come to this claim...
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Western Pacific and parts of Australia
  • Australia
  • damages the agricultural industries in countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean such as Indonesia, and the Philippines.
  • The results of the El Niño events in 1997-1998 were by far the worst in recent history,
    • ekbrabant
       
      I wonder what happened. I wonder what the effects were.
  • South Asia will likely be hit first with heavy rain and flooding.
    • ekbrabant
       
      El Nino seems to cause a lot of problems. I wonder what caused scientists to think that all of these were related to El Nino.
